Magazine Tubes
From discussions on the forum I've gleaned that the earlier mag tubes can be identified by the little staking marks near the top. I don't have a reference book that covers this so have I got this right ?
From the top of the photo ;
Early DWM, rectangular punch mark
Later DWM, semi-circular punch
Erfurt, rectangular punch and noticeably higher on the tube
Also, when did the change from rectangular to semi-circular take place at DWM ?
thanks, Mark
